I think both WD and Seagate kinda suck. I had plenty of luck with Maxtor before they got bought out. So now it's multiple copies.


Maybe you were lucky but for me Maxtor have never been reliable. The ONLY hard drives I've had fail were all Maxtor.  This is before they were bought out too.  WD is the most reliable in my personal experience.

I back up on external HDDs and occasionally give one to my mum that's a backup of all my stuff (which she brings back to Australia) that way I have back up in another country in case Hong Kong blows up or something.

I know, I've heard that a lot. I don't know why my experience was so positive.
